Report Submitted By: Travis Hickey Date of Report: May 11, 2023 Finance & Administrative Services

CONSENT AGENDA
Monthly Report on the Status of Debt Instruments Issued through the City of Santa Fe Springs Public Financing Authority (PFA)

BACKGROUND
The Santa Fe Springs Public Financing Authority (PFA) is a City entity that has periodically issued debt for the benefit of the Santa Fe Springs community. The following is a brief status report on the debt instruments currently outstanding that were issued through the PFA.

Consolidated Redevelopment Project 2006-A Tax Allocation Bonds Financing proceeds available for appropriation at 4/30/2023 None Outstanding principal at 4/30/2023 $37,857,128
Bond Repayment
The former Community Development Commission (CDC) issued a number of tax allocation bonds before it was dissolved by State law effective February 1, 2012 which are administered by the City acting as Successor Agency under the oversight of the appointed Oversight Board. The Successor Agency no longer receives tax increment. Instead, distributions from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) are received based on approved obligations. It is anticipated that sufficient allocations from the RPTTF will continue to be made to the Successor Agency to meet ongoing debt service obligations.

Unspent Bond Proceeds
Under an approved Bond Expenditure Agreement, unspent bond proceeds of the former CDC in the amount of approximately $19 million were transferred to the City in July 2014.

The funds are to be spent in accordance with the original bond documents. The unspent proceeds continue to be a source of funding within the City’s capital improvement program (CIP).
2016 Bond Refunding
In July 2016, the Successor Agency issued its 2016 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, which paid off several bond issuances of the former CDC. The bonds were originally issued through the Public Financing Authority and included the 2001 Series A, 2002 Series A, 2003 Series A, the current interest portion of the 2006 Series A, and 2006 Series B bond issuances.

RECOMMENDATION
• Receive and file the report.

CONSENT AGENDA
Monthly Report on the Status of Debt Instruments Issued through the City of Santa Fe Springs Water Utility Authority (WUA)

BACKGROUND
The Santa Fe Springs Water Utility Authority (WUA) is a City entity that has issued debt for the benefit of the Santa Fe Springs community. The following is a brief status report on the debt instruments currently outstanding that were issued through the WUA.

Water Revenue Bonds, 2013
Financing proceeds available for appropriation at 4/30/2023 None Outstanding principal at 4/30/2023 $6,890,000
Water Revenue Bonds, 2018
Financing proceeds available for appropriation at 4/30/2023 None Outstanding principal at 4/30/2023 $820,000
In May 2013 the Water Utility Authority issued the 2013 Water Revenue Bonds in the amount of $6,890,000. The bonds refunded the existing 2003 Water Revenue Bonds (issued through the Public Financing Authority) and provided additional funds for water improvement projects in the amount of $2,134,339. The funds were restricted for use on water system improvements. In August 2013 the Water Utility Authority Board appropriated the proceeds for the Equipping Water Well No. 12 Project and all proceeds were since used on this project.

In January 2018 the Water Utility Authority issued the 2018 Water Revenue Bonds in the amount of $1,800,000. The bonds refunded the existing 2005 Water Revenue Bonds (issued through the Public Financing Authority). No additional funds were raised through the issuance of the 2018 Water Revenue Bonds.

The City budget includes sufficient appropriations and adequate revenues are expected to be collected to meet the debt service obligations associated with the 2013 and 2018 Water Revenue Bonds.

RECOMMENDATION
• Receive and file the report.

CONSENT AGENDA
Status Update of Water-Related Capital Improvement Projects

BACKGROUND
This report is for informational purposes only. The following is a listing of current active water projects.

Water CIP Updated Project List
Over the past month, the water utility division has been working to update the water CIP listing of projects to bring to City Council. The City retained consultant, Mr.

Ernesto, Munoz P.E., to assist in updating the Water Utility CIP schedule to better match our anticipated future Water Utility revenues. Staff anticipates bringing this water CIP through the subcommittee and counsel process over the next month.

Notable Capital Improvement Projects include treatment system design for Water Well No. 2, reassessing Water Well No.12, and repairing the Florence Ave. water main crossing the railroad tracks at Pioneer Blvd.

INFRASTRUCTURE IMPACT
The Water Utility Authority owns and operates high value assets including two 4 million gallon storage tanks, two 350 hp (combined) booster stations, five interconnections, and 108 miles of water main pipes ranging in size from 4” to 16”. This water system is subject to constant wear and aging; to maximize the useful life of these assets, a comprehensive and proactive reinvestment into the Water Utility infrastructure is necessary and with some assets, a regulatory requirement.

Water Well No. 2 has previously been assessed and is ready to have a treatment system designed to bring this well back into service after sitting idle for many years.

A comprehensive assessment of Water Well No. 12 will provide the information needed to properly design a treatment system to produce safe drinking water for years to come.

This project has the potential to allow the City to deliver high-quality groundwater and reduce the City’s dependence on costly imported water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.

CONSENT AGENDA
Second Reading of Ordinance No. 1128 Amending Chapter 95 of Title IX of the Santa Fe Springs Municipal Code Relating to Public Nuisances

BACKGROUND
At its May 2, 2023 meeting, the City Council introduced Ordinance 1128 amending Chapter 95 of Title IX of the City’s Municipal Code relating to public nuisances.

Chapter 95 of Title IX of the Santa Fe Springs Municipal Code addresses conditions and uses of land that are offensive or annoying to the senses, detrimental to property values and community appearance, an obstruction to or interference with the comfortable enjoyment of adjacent property or premises, and/or hazardous or injurious to the health, safety, or welfare of the general public. It provides the City with enforcement tools by defining such conditions and uses of land as public nuisances and providing regulations and procedures for abatement.

In reviewing Chapter 95, the City Attorney’s office determined that revisions to the code language were needed to comply with legal requirements, including due process. The City Attorney’s office worked with Police Services to draft Ordinance No. 1128 to comprehensively review the chapter and implement the necessary changes so that the provisions of Chapter 95 may serve as an effective method of enforcement to promote the health, safety, and welfare of the Santa Fe Springs community.

These include, but are not limited to, site inspections, drafting reports, taking photographs, procuring other evidence, engaging in meetings, conferences and communications with responsible persons, their agents or representatives, concerning a violation, as well as with attorneys for the city at any time, and appearances before judicial officers or reviewing authorities during the pendency of a judicial or administrative proceeding and other appearances at such judicial or administrative hearings. The time and resources that public officials further expend to confirm that a residential structure remains free of a violation while a responsible person is on probation to a court or when a matter concerning a residential structure remains pending before a reviewing authority in an administrative action, shall also constitute code enforcement actions.

RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES. All structures and premises that are regulated by the California State Housing Law (Cal. Health and Safety Code, Division 13, Part 1.5, §§ 17910 et seq.), and any future amendments thereto. These include, but are not limited to, apartment houses, hotels, motels, and dwellings, and residential buildings and structures accessory thereto.

§ 95.24 RECOVERY OF ATTORNEY’S FEES.
(A) A prevailing party in any administrative, civil or equitable judicial action to abate, or cause the abatement of a public nuisance as defined in § 95.02, or in any appeal or other judicial action arising therefrom, may recover reasonable attorney’s fees in accordance with the following:
(1) Attorney’s fees are not recoverable by any person as a prevailing party unless the City Manager, or a designee thereof, or an attorney for, and on behalf of, the city, elects in writing to seek recovery of the City’s attorney’s fees at the initiation of that individual action or proceeding.

Failure to make such an election precludes any entitlement to, or award of, attorney’s fees in favor of any person or the City.
(2) The City is the prevailing party when an administrative or judicial determination is made or affirmed by which a person is found to be responsible for one or more conditions or activities that constitute a public nuisance. A person is the prevailing party only when a final administrative or judicial determination completely absolves that person of responsibility for all conditions or activities that were alleged, in that action or proceeding, to constitute a public nuisance. An administrative or judicial determination that results in findings of responsibility and non-responsibility on the part of a person for conditions or activities that were alleged in that action or proceeding to constitute a public nuisance, shall nevertheless result in the city being the prevailing party.
(B) Provided that the city has made an election to seek attorney’s fees, an award of attorney’s fees to a person shall not exceed the amount of reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by the city in that action or proceeding.
(Ord. 993, passed 6-26-08)

(B) The procedures for abatement set forth in this chapter are not exclusive and are in addition to any other provisions set forth in this code or by state law for the abatement of public nuisances.

CONSENT AGENDA
Underground Facilities License for Omega OU2, LLC – Amendment Number One

BACKGROUND
The Omega Chemical Corporation Superfund site (“Omega Superfund site”) was placed on the National Priorities List in 1999 and extends from Whittier through Santa Fe Springs and into Norwalk. The court mandated remedy requires the construction and operation of multiple groundwater extraction wells to pump contaminated groundwater to the surface, water treatment facilities to remove the contaminants, and pipelines to deliver the treated groundwater to one or more end users. It also requires the construction of new groundwater monitoring wells and the monitoring of new and existing wells. Omega OU2, LLC is the entity responsible for the installation of the extraction wells, water treatment facilities, monitoring wells, pipelines, etc.

On April 19, 2022, the City Council approved the Underground Facilities License permit to Omega OU2, LLC to operate and maintain the groundwater containment pipelines in Hawkins Street, Norwalk Boulevard, Smith Avenue, Matern Place, Geary Avenue, Arlee Avenue, Pioneer Boulevard, and/or Mersin Place.

In reviewing the Underground Facilities License, Omega OU2, LLC realized that the locations designated on Exhibit A to the License did not include a small segment of pipeline. Omega OU2, LLC provided a revised exhibit identifying this area as Segment No. 10. Amendment Number One replaces the current exhibit with this revised exhibit.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney’s office drafted Amendment Number One to the Underground Facilities License.

INFRASTRUCTURE IMPACT
The underground facility license includes a provision for relocation of any the Omega OU2, LLC pipelines due to any conflict with any proposed city-owned utility or due to the change of grade, alignment or width of Hawkins Street, Norwalk Boulevard, Smith Avenue, Matern Place, Geary Avenue, Arlee Avenue, Pioneer Boulevard, and/or Mersin Place.

Tom Hatch
Interim City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
• Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign Amendment Number One to the Underground Facilities License for Omega OU2, LLC to operate groundwater containment pipelines along various city streets.

CONSENT AGENDA
Resolution No. 9865 – Approving the American Rescue Plan Act Expenditure Plan

BACKGROUND
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”), a $1.9 trillion stimulus package, to counteract the economic impacts of the pandemic. The bill contains a $350 billion allocation for state and local government aid known as the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (“CSLFRF”).

This program is intended to provide support to state, territorial, local, and tribal governments in responding to the economic and public health impacts of COVID-19 and in their efforts to contain impacts on their communities, residents, and businesses. The City of Santa Fe Springs was awarded $4.2 million. Half of this award was disbursed in July 2021, and the second half was disbursed in July 2022.

The City’s funds must be used for costs incurred on or after March 3, 2021 or committed by December 31, 2024, with final expenditures to be made by December 31, 2026.

The Initial guidance for the eligible use of the funding was very restrictive. On January 6, 2022, the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) issued the Final Rule, and became effective on April 1, 2022. The Final Rule substantially broadened the eligible uses and provided the City with more flexibility and simplification in administering the funds. The Final Rule modified the replacement of the public sector revenue loss category to provide a standard allowance of the greater of the agency award or $10 million to be used for government services. The standard allowance is available to all recipients and offers a simple, convenient way to determine revenue loss instead of using the full formula specified in the Final Rule.

The City may use the CSLFRF funds to:
1) Replace lost public sector revenue, using this funding to provide government services to the extent of revenue loss due to the pandemic; a. Recipients may determine their revenue loss by choosing between two options:
i. Standard allowance of up to $10 million in the aggregate, not to exceed their award amount, during the program.
ii. Calculating their jurisdiction’s specific revenue loss each year using Treasury’s formula, which compares actual revenue to a counterfactual trend.
b. Recipients may use funds up to the amount of revenue loss for

RECOMMENDATION
• Adopt Resolution No. 9865 Approving the American Rescue Plan Act expenditure plan.

government services; generally, services traditionally provided by recipient governments are government services unless Treasury has stated otherwise.
2) To respond to the public health emergency or its negative economic impacts; a. Supporting programs, services, or capital expenditure. b. Assisting households, small businesses, and nonprofits; and c. Aiding impacted industries such as tourism, travel, and hospitality. 3) Providing premium pay to eligible workers performing essential work; a. Offering additional support to workers who bear the greatest health risks because of their services in critical sectors.
4) To make necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure; a. Making necessary investments to improve access to clean drinking water, support vital wastewater and storm water infrastructure, and expand access to broadband internet.

Additionally, two types of uses are prohibited:
1) Funds cannot be used for deposit into any pension funds. 2) Funds cannot be used directly or indirectly to offset a reduction in net tax revenue resulting from a change in law, regulation, or administrative interpretation.

Staff recommends utilizing the standard allowance for government services under the revenue loss provision described in category one (1) of the CSLFRF uses above.

The ARPA funds are one-time and would need to be returned to the Federal Government if not spent or committed by the deadlines.

FISCAL IMPACT
The ARPA allocation for the City of Santa Fe Springs is $4,217,470. If approved as recommended, the ARPA grant funds will be transferred to General Fund to offset prior government services expenditures. The full cost will impact the General Fund in Fiscal Year 2022-2023.

CONSENT AGENDA
Award an Order to Swarco McCain Inc. for the Purchase of Traffic Signal Cabinets

BACKGROUND
The cities of Pico Rivera, Paramount, Bellflower, City of Industry, and La Habra Heights contract their traffic signal maintenance to the City of Santa Fe Springs. These traffic signal cabinets are used in those cities under the associated contracts.

Some years ago after trialing other brands the Traffic Signal Division standardized to the McCain traffic signal cabinet. Inconsistencies in craftsmanship and technical support led to the standardization to this cabinet. Key components used in the cabinet such as the power supply and controller are also standardized to McCain products which has led to consistent service uptime. One of the principal benefits realized by using the McCain cabinet is product support; staff can effortlessly connect with a McCain technician to troubleshoot and solve an issue.

These cabinets will be inventoried in the City’s warehouse until required for installation in a contract city. Long and inconsistent delivery lead times require the necessity to keep several of these on our shelves as to not impact potential service disruption to the cities we serve.

FISCAL IMPACT
These cabinets are reimbursed to the City of Santa Fe Springs plus the contract negotiated markup upon their installation in a contract city.

The City Hall roof has exceeded its service life and requires replacement. The scope of work for the project consists of the complete removal of the existing built-up roofing system (approximately 23,350 square feet), installation of a specified TREMCO (or equal) roofing system with appurtenances, including any sub-roof plywood replacement as needed, installation of new roof ladders, replacement of all deteriorated drain covers and the repair of lobby skylight.

To minimize construction disturbances from the roof replacement on City Hall patrons, City Council, and staff, the Contractor will construct the project in three phases, as shown in the attachment titled “City Hall Roof Phasing Exhibit.” All work in each phase must be complete before proceeding to the next phase. All hot moping will be performed on the Fridays that City Hall is closed and on Saturdays/Sundays. The Contractor’s activities will be confined to the hours between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The Contractor will also furnish/install mobile air conditioning units and fans in City Hall Council Chambers and offices throughout the phases of the project.

The construction cost estimate for the City Hall Roof Replacement project is $1,223,350. The total estimated project cost including construction, design, engineering and inspection, and contingency is $1,689,350. The estimate is from the most current costs of similar projects in the area. The total project costs are as follows:

ITEM BUDGET
Construction $ 1,223,350
Design $ 62,000
Engineering $ 80,000
Inspection $ 80,000
Contingency $ 244,000
Total Project Cost $ 1,689,350
The project Plans and Specifications are complete, and the Public Works Department is ready to advertise for the construction bids for this project, upon City Council approval. A copy of the project specifications will be on file with the City Clerk.

RECOMMENDATION
• Approve the Specifications; and
• Authorize the Interim City Engineer to advertise for construction bids.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City Hall Roof Replacement project is an approved CIP Project. The project is funded through Capital Improvement Plan / Utility Users Tax (UUT) Funds with a budget of $715,000 for the City Hall Roof Replacement. Staff anticipates a funding shortfall and will recommend an appropriation of funds at the time of Award of Contract.

INFRASTRUCTURE IMPACT
The City Hall Roof Replacement project will renew the service life of the roof, and protect the contents inside the building, reducing continual maintenance repair costs.

PRESENTATION
Proclaiming the Week of May 21- 27, 2023 as “National Public Works Week”

BACKGROUND
National Public Works Week (NPWW) is a celebration of the tens of thousands of men and women in North America who provide the services and maintain the infrastructure collectively known as public works. Instituted as a public education campaign by the American Public Works Association (APWA) in 1960, the goal is to call attention to the importance of public works in community life.

National Public Works Week is observed each year during the third full week of May.

Through NPWW and other efforts, APWA seeks to raise the public’s awareness of public works issues and to increase confidence in public works employees who are dedicated to improving the quality of life for present and future generations. This year’s theme is “Connecting the World Through Public Works”, and highlights the fact that Public works connects us all, regardless of where we live in the world. Every public works professional strives to improve the quality of life for the community they serve, leading to healthier, happier communities.

This year City staff will celebrate Public Works Week with the students and staff of Rancho Santa Gertrudes Elementary on Thursday, May 25, 2023.

The Mayor may wish to call upon Kevin Periman, Municipal Services Manager, to receive the proclamation.

City of Santa Fe Springs

PRESENTATION
Proclaiming the Month of May 2023 as “Mental Health Month” in the City of Santa Fe Springs.

BACKGROUND
Mental Health Month raises awareness about mental health conditions and the importance of good mental health for everyone. Every day, millions of people face stigma related problems to mental illness, causing many to face their mental health challenges for years without help. Each May, Mental Health Month provides the opportunity for everyone to come together to illuminate mental health awareness in an effort to stop the stigma. Bringing forth this awareness is crucial to helping people reach out for the assistance they deserve.

This year’s theme for Mental Health Month is More Than Enough. It’s an opportunity for all of us to come together and remember the inherent value we each hold no matter our diagnosis, appearance, socioeconomic status, background or ability. We want every person out there to know that if all you did was wake up today, that’s more than enough. No matter what, you are inherently worthy of more than enough life, love and healing. Showing up, just as you are, for yourself and the people around you is more than enough.

On May 18, 2023, we encourage all community residents to support Mental Health Action Day which was created to shift mental health culture from awareness to action.

This movement is powered by a growing coalition of more than 1,800 nonprofits, brands, government agencies, and influential leaders from more than 32 countries that spread the message that, just like our physical health, we can take actions to improve our mental health. On this day, individuals are encouraged to take one hour of time for themselves, their loved ones or their community. We encourage our community to take a walk, join a health & wellness class, play with their pets, meditate or send messages on social media to friends and loved ones at #MentalHealthAction.

Mental health is essential to everyone’s overall health and well-being and having the right balance benefits both the mind and body. If you or someone you may know is in need of mental health services, please contact the Gus Velasco Neighborhood Center to meet with the City’s Case Workers for more mental health resources.

RECOMMENDATION
• City Council proclaim the month of May 2023 as “Mental Health Month” in the City of Santa Fe Springs.
